It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Re:BIG Trouble

First try some relatively mild general purpose thinners. If that does not work try some acetone. If that does not work either, go for broke with lacquer thinners.
Be careful: all solvents have the potential to damage paint. Therefore wipe on and wipe off quickly. Do NOT allow any solvent to sit for long on your paint. Try a test area first.

Re:BIG Trouble

talk to a collision repair shop. if you got any on your exterior paint, leave it to them. your comprehensive insurance might cover it.

Re:BIG Trouble

Wax/polish will often get it off without damaging your paint.

Re:BIG Trouble

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. The bug and tar remover took it right off without much elbow grease. The "spray" wasnt too thick so it came off easily. I am gonna wash and wax the area tomorrow. Sorry I didnt get a picture for ya'll. Kyle

Re:BIG Trouble

Clay bar.....My TDI got doused the other day by slurry seal...Mothers clay bar took it right off along with all the other stuff that was on there...great product
my two cents
Cameron

...p.s....if it doesnt come off you could put a Mary Kay sticker on your truck!!...be the envy of all the Mary Kay salespersons out there!!!! (sorry couldnt resist)!
